Cherished

Being tucked away in seclusion with a self-appointed bodyguard is way more fun than it has a right to be. I should resist, but I don't, and after years of trying not to fall for anyone, I tumble hard for Kase Donovan.We still don't know who's after me, but with Kase's help, I'm working to keep my business afloat. Until my father tracks me down and retrieves me for that pesky marriage contract he had drawn up years ago. I'm forced to return to the ivory tower I grew up in and stay locked up while my life dissolves.Locked doors have never stopped Kase, but even if he can rescue me from a fairy tale gone wrong, there's still someone waiting to kill me. And we might not learn who it is until it's too late and we've lost everything, including each other. Even if we track down my would-be killer, I've fallen hard for my bodyguard with the dark past, and the life I would have with Kase isn't different from the prison I grew up in. How much am I willing to sacrifice for total freedom?Cherished is the second book in the Corrupted and Cherished duet and the completion of Kase and Holland's story.
